What the rules mean in practice
- To pass, grow the $100K account by $3,500 (3.5%) without breaking a loss limit.
- There is no daily loss limit, so a bad day only fails the account if it breaks the overall max loss.
- The account fails if you lose $800 (0.8%). This is static drawdown: the loss limit is fixed at a set distance below your starting balance and never moves.
- Consistency rule: None
- At a 80% split, you need about 0.4% return on the funded account to earn back the $318 fee.
- The evaluation fee is paid once and the activation fee ($83, $149, $149 or $169) is due on passing; the rules call it a lifetime fee for that account.
- The drawdown is a fixed $500, $650, $800 or $1,000 below the starting balance and never trails. There is no daily loss limit and no consistency rule.
- After passing, the CASH account keeps the same rules. Reaching the same profit target on it credits a fixed bonus of $1,000, $2,000, $3,000 or $4,500 (80/20 split) to the Phidias Wallet and opens a LIVE account with $500, $1,000, $1,500 or $2,000 of live trading credit.
- LIVE accounts from Express to Live trade 2, 3, 4 or 5 lots, pay 80% with daily withdrawals of at least $500 and no cap, and list a $122 monthly fee that is currently waived.
- Express to Live evaluations cannot be reset; a new evaluation must be bought after a breach.
- Overnight and weekend positions are not allowed at any stage.
- Up to 5 Express to Live CASH or LIVE accounts per trader. The rules page lets the 150K count freely within that limit, while the terms of use limit the 150K to one account.
- After losing an Express to Live LIVE account, a trader cannot buy a new Express to Live evaluation for one month.
